Guest Post ||Mac Miley Cyrus Viva Glam Collection from The World According to Jess

Hi There Dolls!

I’m Jess, author for The World According To Jess
and I’m here to talk about one of my favourite Mac Collections, Miley Cyrus
Viva Glam. I was so excited when I first heard about the upcoming Miley Cyrus
Viva Glam collection, that I headed straight to Mac on the day of release to
pick them up, just seeing these two products in their packaging made me fall in
love.

Like all Viva Glam
lipsticks from Mac (with exceptions on seasonal collections) they have the red
Mac lettering and the red ring, still in the style of the classic lipsticks
from Mac. Opening the lipstick you are met with even more red, in the form of
the twisting sheath, and on it, the Miley Cyrus signature in black. I love all
Mac lipsticks, and one of the big reasons why is it’s smell, the moment the lid
comes off you can smell the vanilla scent of the lipstick. Twisting the
lipstick up you are met with the most beautiful blue toned deep bright pink.
The blue tones really work well for pale and yellow toned skin, but would also
look great on darker skin as well. The lipstick just glides onto the lips,
without drying them out. It is an Amplified lipstick, this means that the
lipstick has a higher pigmentation, with a semi-matte finish. That hint of a
glossy shine really ups the ante and helps give off a fuller lip look. This
lipstick does leave a stain, so you don’t have to keep topping up colour
throughout the day. If you don’t want that bright bold look, apply to the
centre of the bottom lip, and taking a brush or your finger blend out over the
top and bottom lip. This will leave the lips with a touch of colour and stain,
so it doesn’t need to be reapplied. You can even glam up the look further with
a touch of the Miley Cyrus Lip Glass.

I am not a huge fan
of lip glosses, so I didn’t really think that I would like this product, but I
really do. Again with all Viva Glam Lip Glasses, they look exactly the same as
the classic collection, with the addition of the red signature. Just looking at
the Lip Glass makes you want it, with its pink colour and silver, blue and pink
glitter shining away. The application process is super easy, as you just apply
it with the wand, and surprisingly it glides onto the lips. You can apply it
very lightly, just to give a glaze to the lips or slightly thicker to show off
more of the pink colour. The problem I find with the Lip Glasses is that they
feel a little taky when the lips are opening and closing, but it doesn’t feel
sticky. What I mean is that it doesn’t feel like your lips will stick together,
it feels more like hair would stick to it. There is a hint of vanilla with the
Lip Glasses but nothing near as strong as the lipsticks. For that full
glamorous look, add the gloss on top of the Viva Glam Miley lipstick, this
makes the lipstick colour stand out more and in some lights makes the glitter
shine. The glitter looks much more subtle when applied on top. But, don’t just stop
there, you can apply this Lip Glass to any lipstick you want, it’s just so
versatile. The blue glitter can be made
more apparent when applied on top of a purple lip colour, great for adding a
bit of glamour to an Autumn/Winter look.

If you only pick up
on thing from the collection, make it the lipstick, as I haven’t found any Mac
lipsticks that are the same. Pick them up while stocks last, as you don’t want
to miss out.
